Ghosts Companion Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I have to admit I am kind of glad, the guy was creepy. I am concerned who will replace him though will he be worse or better? This guy has a lot of power and influence the way many people think. Very frightening indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angalin Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Does this mean the Things' pre-papacy Cardinal Ratzinger fan club t-shirts are now worth more or less money as collectibles? (They were a gift.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Of House Hill Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Having accomplished nothing worthwhile during his papacy, he now secures a footnote in history by resigning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter's Knight Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Two points:He decided to resign around the same time as the States drops all plans for building a Deathstar-coincidence?Am I the only one who read this and thought "I wonder what they're trying to hide now"?

Galactus Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Yes, this seems to have a lot of arcane-bizarro-politics potential. Plus, anything who's last precedent is sort of maybe sometimes in the 1200's is always fun. The future, bitches, it is upon us. Sort of.*Digs out popcorn*. Are there polls? Can I get a poll?Well, the Papacy is IIRC the second-oldest office on earth. (the only one older being high priest of the samaritans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saci Targaryen Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I liked this pope a lot more than the previous one, who was nothing more than an american puppet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datepalm Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 His last tweet was apparently "We're all sinners." That sentence should be completely bizarre, and it's bizarre that it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saci Targaryen Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 My CIA source said that the next pope will be a man called "Tarcisio Bertoni" and that he will further the Illuminatti agenda. This was all decided on their last meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saci Targaryen Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I wouldnt be surprised if the Holy See pulls a PR stunt by nominating a black/asian pope as a means to improve its declining public image. Correct me if Im wrong, but I believe God has always appointed a white european man to be his representative on Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 an accessory to mass murder and a paedophile-apologistThere's lots of criticism of the church and the Pope that's fair, but the paedophile apologist thing makes me cross. I'm repeating this from the general Catholic-church topic, but he was the one who reformed the structure to make it harder to cover things up and, since he became Pope, has been publicly driving against it, unlike his predecessor.What's the accessory to mass murder charge? I really, really hope you don't mean the Hitler Youth thing. Because that would be stupid.Nope, been a couple of african popes.And at least one notable Galilean.
